DRAPERY HOOK Filed Dec. 6, 1929 INVENTOR ATTORNEY Patented Oct. 13,1931

UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE IBEULAH B. FICK, OF BALTIMORE, MARYLAND DRAPERY HOOK Application fil ed December 6, 1929. Serial No. 412,158.

features of construction and in the combina- 19 tion and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claims.

In describing the invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which Figure 1 is a view showing how the hooks 29 are used in drapery.

Figure 2 is a perspective view of part of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is an edge view of the hook.

Figure 4 is an elevation of the hook.

As shown in these views, the hook A is formed of a single ,piece of wire bent into inverted U shape, with the limb 1 slightly longer than the limb 2. The limb 1 is pointed,

as shown. The part of the wire which forms 39 the limb 2 is looped upon itself so that this limb is of double thickness and the extremity of the wire is twisted with the bight of the U and then carried straight up from the bight to form a point 3. The limb 1 is substantially straight while the limb 2 is slightly curved outwardly from the limb 1.

A number of these hooks is used to support the drapes B, as shown in Figure 1, and as shown in Figure 2, the limb 1 is passed several times through a part of the drape, preferably through one side of the casing C, with the point 3 passing through a part of the same side of the casing. The limb 2 extends outwardly so that this limb can be readily placed over the support to which the drapes arev attached. The limb 1 and the point 3 act to firmly attach the device to the drape so that there is no danger of the drapes slipping on the devices. As the hooks are not 59 permanently attached to the drapes, they can be easily removed therefrom when the drapes are to be cleaned. The points of the hooks are concealed in the body of the material and said hooks can be readily adjusted in the drapes whenever desired.

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of the invention will be readily apparent.

It is to be understood that changes may be made in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claims.

What I claim is 1. A drapery hook comprising a member of substantially inverted U shape and formed of one piece of wire, the wire that forms one limb of the U being bent upon itself with the extermity twisted around the bight of said U and extending upwardly from the bight, said upwardly extending portion being sharpened to form a point, the wire that forms the other limb of the U being pointed and extended beyond the inverted U to be disposed at a point remote from the upwardly extended portion of the first mentioned limb.

2. A drapery hook comprising a single length of wire bent into substantially inverted U shape, the wire forming one limb of the U being extended beyond the other limb thereof and pointed, the wire forming the other limb being bent upon itself with its end portion twisted around the bight of the U and extended upwardly from said bight for a distance and having a. point, these pointed end portions being straight and substantially in alignment with each other.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.

BEULAH B. FICK.
